The monument where the three countries meet is a large iron pylon in the shape of a rocket with the flags of France, Germany and Switzerland on the tails. Technically, the tripoint where France, Germany and Switzerland meet is in the middle of the Rhine river. But since we can't really put up a monument there, the Swiss have put up the Dreiländereck on the Swiss side of the border which is as close as you can get on dry land. Interesting to the map nerds, this is one of only 157 *national* tripoints worldwide and the only one in a major city. The spot is part of the Swiss freight port but is accessible by car and via a footpath that is only about 1 km from Kleinhüningen metro stop.
